A big thanks for all those who checked in on me: Ancaire, Fo, tl2, Gmum, Dday, Fogg and NYGal. And the many other DBers who had dropped by my thread.
Maybe I am not supposed to find land so soon. Maybe it is my destiny to wander around in the seas for a bit and kind of be an explorer.
Just a very quick update:
The teenage mutant ninja head lice are still there. Thank God kid's head is clear. I just have to worry about my own. I guess after all that I have been through, I just have to look for the little pleasures in life. Quite miffed that the lice saga has quite effectively put a stop to my GAL activities as I have to be cooped up in the apartment most of the time.
No clear answers as yet. A talk with a family member just yielded more questions -- said family member seemed to be as clueless as I am. Bless his heart for wanting me to try but now I am very wary. Both of us can see the issues in the marriage and that I wasn't the only one at fault but the hindsight is just that hindsight. I can work on myself but not on the M anymore. The X and the TP's relationship seems to be heating up and kid is asking more and more painful and uncomfortable questions.
The X seems keen to spend time with kid but I hate it when forgets about appointments, comes late or makes last minute changes. Bittersweet how it takes a lice scare from kid to make him call me for the first time in 4 months. When he asked me where I was, I had to bite my tongue so that I wouldn't retort that it was none of his business. Just told him I was out and that he would have to wait for a while because I had been expelled from Hogwarts and they confiscated my Firebolt.
You can call me Dory/ Grl.
As a wise fish once sang,"Just keep swimming!"
It's no use to go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
